#1 There are 435 congresspersons and 100 senators. I'd like to see more than 50 signatures on that letter.

I'd really like to see Keith Ellison's signature.

#3 My congresscritter (Doug Lamborn) is on the list, but he's the only one from Colorado. Where are the names of senators who will sign this letter?

(crickets chirping)

Carter is a disgrace to the United States. He was as president, and he's been ever since. He "brokered" a peace treaty between Israel and Egypt that has been observed more in its breaches than in its accomplishments. The man needs to quietly disappear.

#4 Hard to get a donk's attention. Try gee haw. Or promise votes. If that doesn't work squeeze the nuts hard.

#5 My Congressman signed, too, and there's talk that future-President McCain may have a role for him.
